Plenty room at the toes. Feels snug at the ball but leather is supple enough that it's supportive and not uncomfortable. Instep is somewhat low but the buckling can alleviate that.
3,5mm russia leather upper. Some sort of a waxed fleshout. Unlined. Unstructured toe.
Leather insole. Leather midsole.
3,5mm leather counter. Calf lining heel counter.
German double-stitched "Zwiegenäht".

Seemt about the most overbuilt summer hiker I could find.
How I sized
Haferl Last: 42US Men's Brannock: 9D/E
Sized Online
Exchanged with Bertl based on Meindl hikers sizes. Went 1/2 down from hiker/sneaker size. Shoulda probably gone a whole 1 1/2 down. Wearing them with a thin insole seems fine.
